Dolphin’s wide receiver Mike Wallace is upset, but after the Dolphin’s win against the Jaguars Sunday Wallace didn’t want to talk to reporters.
Wallace did not say exactly what has him upset but its pretty documented that the dolphins struggles on offense is part of the problem.
The Dolphin’s only scored 13 points against the leagues worst defense.
Wallace had comments on the Dolphin’s slow starts and struggling offense.
“Our offense was [expletive]. We’ve got to do better.”
“We’re not going to get nowhere like that,” Wallace said.
The Dolphin’s don’t throw deep very often and those are the plays that Wallace likes the most. The Dolphin’s gave him a $60 million contract to take the tops off defenses, but he hasn’t really had many chances to do it. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown the ball downfield 20 plus yards just 23 times this year only completing seven.
“That’s what I do; I’m built for that,” Wallace said. “I’m not excited about [catching a deep pass Sunday]. That’s what I do.”
When asked if he wishes offensive coordinator Bill Lazor called more deep passes, Wallace responded:
“I run the plays that they call.”
Statistically, Wallace has had a productive year. He leads the team in catches (32) and receiving yards (418), has five touchdowns and is on pace to set a personal record for TDs and yet, he said his season has been “not good. It could be a whole lot better.”
